13 (and a half?) weeks!

Monday marked 13 weeks for me, aka the start of my 2nd trimester!!! (If you have been paying really close attention, I used to start a new "week" on Tuesdays, but I have changed it to Mondays because that is when my weekly emails arrive telling me I am a week farther along! And they are from my doctor's office, so I figure they have to be right!)

Our little baby is about the size of a "medium shrimp", but I didn't find a picture of that because it sounds a bit gross. :) But, the baby should be about 3 whole inches from head to bottom!!! Grow, baby, grow!!!

My spoiled-by-my-specialist self got antsy waiting 4 whole weeks for my check-up, so I went in on Monday just to hear the heartbeat. It took the nurse 2 tries and about 10 whole minutes and then a few minutes of the doctor trying, but he found it! Our little baby's heart is just going strong!!!

I think I might have a bit more energy these days and I am definitely less queasy. :) So thankful to be in the 2nd trimester for so many reasons!!!!

Welcome to my blog! This is the story of our Baby Sam. After 2 miscarriages and being diagnosed with MTHFR, we were overjoyed and excited to meet our baby boy on September 29th. He was diagnosed with at least 1 heart defect that should have required surgery after he was born. There were hundreds and hundreds of people praying for our sweet baby. On the day he was born, he had an echocardiogram of his heart -- and guess what? He's perfectly healthy!!! We will be forever grateful to God for our miracle baby.
